电影工作室 Fountain 0 宣布正在制作一部 AI 生成的《奥德赛》改编电影《Odysseus: The Fall》,试图借克里斯托弗·诺兰新片《奥德赛》的热度吸引关注。
这个周末,全世界的影迷们将涌向当地影院,饱览克里斯托弗·诺兰的新作《奥德赛》改编版:/entertainment/849026/the-trailer-for-christopher-nolans-the-odyssey-dropped-this-morning。该影片预计在短短几天内将收入达到 8000 万至 1 亿美元:https://deadline.com/2026/06/the-odyssey-box-office-opening-projection-1236968681/。显然,人们非常期待看到诺兰如何利用尖端电影技术:/news/668287/christopher-nolan-odyssey-imax-film-100-percent 让荷马史诗焕发新意。但另一位导演正试图利用围绕诺兰项目的热潮,为他自己以尤利西斯为主题的电影吸引关注。
周二,电影公司 Fountain 0 宣布:https://watch.fountain0.com/movies/odysseus-the-fall 正在制作一部题为《尤利西斯:陨落》的 AI 生成版《奥德赛》重想影片,该片将于今年夏末以数字形式供租赁或购买。影片由导演阿什·库莎(Ash Koosha)创作,他此前与该初创公司合作制作了《紫罗兰之梦》:/ai-artificial-intelligence/948425/tribeca-2026-dear-upstairs-neighbors-google-deepmind-openai ——一部关于 2025 年末至 2026 年初席卷伊朗的社会动荡和国家暴力的 AI 生成纪录剧情片:https://www.avclub.com/dreams-of-violets-ai-snuff-film-tribeca-film-festival。与据称只花费 2000 美元拍摄的《紫罗兰之梦》类似,《尤利西斯:陨落》的制作预算据说只是传统制作影片的一小部分。库莎能够以“中五位数”的预算编写 / 导演 / 编辑该电影,这与诺兰拍摄《奥德赛》所需的 2.5 亿美元相比不值一提:https://variety.com/2026/film/news/the-odyssey-r-rating-christopher-nolan-1236766780/。
奥德修斯:《陨落》的预告片相当清楚地表明了库沙使用Kling的AI视频生成器(https://kling.ai/)和谷歌的Nano Banana(/news/824785/google-nano-banana-pro-try-free-examples-prices)制作的“电影”类型。每一个镜头都显得很短,而且它们都有那种我们通常与AI劣质作品相关的过度光滑的美学(/ai-artificial-intelligence/825498/openai-sora-video-slop-nostalgia-mister-rogers)。角色是以真实人类为模型的——这个奥德修斯是以库沙自己的肖像为模型,而导演为整个演员阵容配音——但他们的动作和语言仍然带有一种令人不舒服的僵硬感,让人感觉完全是AI生成的。
“[我们实际上认为,当我们的电影上映时,它将成为许多平时可能不会去看《奥德赛》的人去观看的催化剂,这样他们就可以将人类电影制作顶尖水平(我真心希望评论会建议诺兰的电影就是这种水平)与当今AI电影制作的顶尖技术进行比较,”罗杰斯说。
罗杰斯并没有真正暗示《奥德修斯:陨落》能够与《奥德赛》相比,但他表示,Fountain 0的项目代表了AI公司能够制作的最好类型的“电影”。罗杰斯可能真的相信他公司的功能很棒,但当你观看《紫罗兰的梦想》——它更像是一系列提示片段的组合——很难想象影院观众会同意他的看法。
看到诺兰的《奥德赛》的视觉宏伟和精心雕琢的艺术性,你会意识到它是数百名人类不懈合作的结果,最终创作出一部真正史诗般的艺术作品。Fountain 0一直强调库沙和他的兄弟普亚在《奥德修斯:陨落》的制作中完成了大部分工作,但这并不是真正能说服人们去买电影票的理由。
虽然可以辩称《紫罗梦》试图提高公众对伊朗侵犯人权历史的认识(这一论点有些可疑),但很难不把《奥德赛:陨落》看作又一场与艺术庆祝无关的炒作AI的噱头。同样地,ElevenLabs最近发布的《奥德赛》有声书:https://variety.com/2026/biz/news/michael-caine-ai-odyssey-audiobook-1236787620/ 也是如此,它由AI生成的迈克尔·凯恩(Michael Caine)仿声演绎:https://elevenlabs.io/blog/announcing-partnership-with-sir-michael-caine-to-newly-launched-iconic-marketplace。Particle6工作室/初创企业多次试图让大家相信“AI女演员”Tilly Norwood:/ai-artificial-intelligence/791680/tilly-norwood-particle6-xicoia-eline-van-der-velden 是我们都应该花时间关注的事情,这种理念贯穿始终。
像Fountain 0一样,Particle6最近宣布:/entertainment/961880/tilly-norwood-particle-6-misaligned 计划推出一部由虚拟化身主演的长片电影。这两家公司似乎都认为,他们可以通过“捣乱”来获得关注,之后才成为娱乐行业中被广泛接受的一部分。但他们似乎没有意识到,人们渴望观看类似诺兰的《奥德赛》这样的电影,是因为它体现了传统电影制作中深度协作的人类元素。
《奥德赛》所获得的热烈赞誉:https://variety.com/2026/film/news/the-odyssey-first-reactions-christopher-nolan-1236802321/ 以及恶意反对:https://deadline.com/2026/07/christopher-nolan-dismisses-the-odyssey-casting-backlash-1236979469/ 都证明了诺兰能够创作出引发观众真实情感的艺术作品。这些强烈的情感推动了电影讨论,并促使人们购票观影,从而维持像环球影业这样的主要制片公司运转。尽管人们承诺生成式AI将彻底重塑娱乐行业,但该技术的狂热支持者迄今尚未发布一部影片或系列作品:/ai-artificial-intelligence/848119/hollywood-film-tv-ai-2025,能够激发诺兰粉丝对《奥德赛》的期待的程度。而如果像Fountain 0试图进行的那些噱头就是他们所能提供的全部,那他们永远也做不到这一点。
This weekend, cinephiles across the world will march to their local theaters to feast their eyes on Christopher Nolan’s new adaptation of The Odyssey :/entertainment/849026/the-trailer-for-christopher-nolans-the-odyssey-dropped-this-morning . It’s on track to rake in anywhere between $80–$100 million:https://deadline.com/2026/06/the-odyssey-box-office-opening-projection-1236968681/ in just a few days. People are clearly excited to see how Nolan uses cutting-edge filmmaking tech:/news/668287/christopher-nolan-odyssey-imax-film-100-percent to make the Homeric classic feel fresh. But another director is trying to capitalize on the buzz around Nolan’s project to drum up interest in an Odysseus-focused movie of his own.
On Tuesday, film studio Fountain 0 announced:https://watch.fountain0.com/movies/odysseus-the-fall that it is working on an AI-generated reimagining of The Odyssey titled Odysseus: The Fall , which will be available to rent or buy from the company digitally sometime later this summer. The movie comes from director Ash Koosha, who previously collaborated with the startup to make Dreams of Violets :/ai-artificial-intelligence/948425/tribeca-2026-dear-upstairs-neighbors-google-deepmind-openai — an AI-generated docudrama about the civil unrest and state violence:https://www.avclub.com/dreams-of-violets-ai-snuff-film-tribeca-film-festival that have rocked Iran between late 2025 and early 2026. Like Dreams of Violets — which reportedly cost only $2,000 to make — Odysseus: The Fall ’s production budget is said to be a fraction of a traditionally produced movie’s. Koosha was able to write / direct / edit the movie with a budget in the “mid-five figures,” which is nothing compared to the $250 million Nolan needed:https://variety.com/2026/film/news/the-odyssey-r-rating-christopher-nolan-1236766780/ to shoot The Odyssey.
Odysseus: The Fall ’s trailer makes it pretty obvious what kind of “film” Koosha has cooked up using Kling’s AI video generator:https://kling.ai/ and Google’s Nano Banana:/news/824785/google-nano-banana-pro-try-free-examples-prices. Every shot seems short, and they all have that over-glossy aesthetic we associate with AI slop:/ai-artificial-intelligence/825498/openai-sora-video-slop-nostalgia-mister-rogers. The characters are modeled after real humans — this Odysseus was modeled after Koosha’s own likeness, and the director voices the entire cast — but there’s still an uncanny stiffness to the way they move and speak that makes them feel wholly AI.
“[W]e actually think, when our film is released, that it will be a catalyst for a lot of people who might not otherwise have seen the Odyssey to hopefully go see it, so they can compare the state of the highest state of human filmmaking achievement, which I truly expect the reviews to suggest Nolan’s film is, with what the top state of the art is in AI filmmaking today,” Rogers said.
Rogers wasn’t exactly suggesting Odysseus: The Fall will be able to hold a candle to The Odyssey , but he was saying that Fountain 0’s projects represent the best kind of “films” that AI firms are capable of making. Rogers might genuinely believe that his company’s features are good, but when you watch Dreams of Violets — which plays like a collection of prompted clips — it’s hard to imagine theatergoers would agree with him.
Seeing the visual grandeur and studied artistry of Nolan’s The Odyssey makes you appreciate how it is the product of hundreds of humans tirelessly working together to make a truly epic piece of art. Fountain 0 has made a big deal out of the fact that Koosha and his brother Pooya did most of the work on Odysseus: The Fall themselves, but that isn’t really the sort of thing that convinces people to buy movie tickets.
Though there was a (dubious) argument to be made that Dreams of Violets was trying to raise public awareness about Iran’s history of human rights violations, it’s hard not to see Odysseus: The Fall as yet another AI-hyping stunt that has little to do with the celebration of art. This was similarly true of ElevenLabs’ recently released The Odyssey audiobook:https://variety.com/2026/biz/news/michael-caine-ai-odyssey-audiobook-1236787620/ narrated by an AI-generated facsimile of Michael Caine:https://elevenlabs.io/blog/announcing-partnership-with-sir-michael-caine-to-newly-launched-iconic-marketplace. It’s also the entire ethos behind studio / startup Particle6’s repeated attempts to convince everyone that “AI actress” Tilly Norwood:/ai-artificial-intelligence/791680/tilly-norwood-particle6-xicoia-eline-van-der-velden is a thing that we should all spend time thinking about.
Like Fountain 0, Particle6 recently announced:/entertainment/961880/tilly-norwood-particle-6-misaligned its own plans to put out a feature-length movie starring an avatar. Both of these companies seem to think that they can troll their way into relevance before becoming widely accepted parts of the entertainment industry. But what they don’t seem to realize is that the thing that gets people eager to see a film like Nolan’s The Odyssey is the way it embodies the deeply collaborative human elements of traditional filmmaking.
The effusive praise:https://variety.com/2026/film/news/the-odyssey-first-reactions-christopher-nolan-1236802321/ and hateful backlash:https://deadline.com/2026/07/christopher-nolan-dismisses-the-odyssey-casting-backlash-1236979469/ that The Odyssey has drawn both speak to Nolan’s ability to craft works of art that elicit genuine emotion from audiences. Those powerful feelings are what drive film discourse and get people buying movie tickets, which keeps major studios like Universal in business. For all the promises that gen AI is going to fundamentally reshape the entertainment industry, the technology’s boosters have yet to release a film or series:/ai-artificial-intelligence/848119/hollywood-film-tv-ai-2025 that comes anywhere close to drumming up the excitement Nolan’s fans have for The Odyssey . And they never will if stunts like the one Fountain 0 is trying to pull are all they have to offer.
